A hot-V V6 will sound very unique if the M5/X5M/X6M V8 is any guide. It's a very interesting sound almost like a boxer-4 overlaid with an MB v-8

There have been some awesome-sounding V6's in the past like the Mazda one mentioned above, the Taurus SHO yamaha motor, the NSX, the VR6. All hope is not lost. But the N54/N55 is a very sweet-sounding motor, it'd be a shame to abandon it

IMO the VQ motors only sound good because they're way too loud. Otherwise they remind me of GM pushrod V6's.
